What is IanniX?

IanniX, A graphical open source sequencer.

IanniX is a graphical open source sequencer, based on Iannis Xenakis works, for digital art. IanniX syncs via Open Sound Control (OSC) events and curves to your real-time environment.

Sequencer

IanniX can be used with a diversity of software and hardware tools

Real-time

IanniX can be modified and operated in real-time

Space & Time

IanniX’s graphical space spans several dimensions and time scales

Open Sound Control

The OSC protocol allows fast network communication

Open-source

IanniX is licensed under GPL 3, free and cross-platform

Programmable

Javascripts can be used to create complex and generative scores

From Xenakis’ UPIC to IanniX

“I was very happy to discover IanniX. I think it is both a beautiful tribute to the hard work that my father has spent his entire life to put the computer in the service of musical and visual creation. And a very technical, alive and present success. Although, personally, I always feel a moment of sadness realizing that despite all the strength he had, he is definitely no longer there to share those moments and give his opinion… I honestly think he would have been very happy to discover this beautiful metamorphosis of the UPIC which was so dear to him and he would immediately goes into this new adventure.”

Examples of inputs / outputs

Video

IanniX can also command VJ-ing software and video installations.

Retroactions

IanniX can operate itself and become entirely autonomous.

Controllers

IanniX can be performed efficiently using OSC or MIDI controllers.

Interactive

IanniX is real-time and can interact with Flash or Director.

Audio

IanniX produces the events and the curves that transform sound.

Actuators

If connected to an Arduino, IanniX could for example pilot spark off a light show.

Sensors

IanniX can be manipulated inventively in real-time through sensors or video cameras.
